With Honor
Seeing how determined Su Qingwu was, Governor Zhang knew that it was not a good idea to stay any longer, so he quickly ordered some people to bring the gifts he prepared for him . “Lord Su, you’ve worked hard on your journey back and forth, there’s some simple food here for you and the other members of the Imperial Guards to eat on their way here . ”
“Thank you, Lord Zhang . Goodbye . ”
Su Qingwu tightened his grip on the reins as he jumped on the horse . The horse beneath him trembled uneasily . He turned to look at Mu Yunyao, his eyes instantly surging with waves .
Mu Yunyao was startled in her heart . She wanted to look at the emotions in those eyes carefully, but she discovered that Su Qingwu had already urged his horse forward, only leaving behind a handsome figure .
As Su Qingwu sped out of Jingling City, he couldn’t help but tighten his reins and turn around to look at the city gates .
One of his followers couldn’t help but said, “Lord, today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, and the entire city filled with the fragrance of osmanthus flowers, which is very attractive . Why didn’t you agree to Governor Zhang’s request to stay overnight before leaving?” Their time was not so short either .
“No matter how beautiful the scenery is, it can’t compare to the prosperity of Xiling . If you can immerse yourself in it for a while, can you still stay here for the rest of your life? We should leave early, lest we get distracted by the beautiful scenery …” Su Qingwu’s expression turned cold, and a brilliant light flashed through his phoenix eyes . In the end, everything was calm again . “Let’s go . ”
Mu Yunyao was momentarily unable to understand the meaning behind Su Qingwu’s gaze, so she tossed it to the back of her mind . Based on the current situation, the Su family doesn’t care about the matter regarding mountain and river screen, so there is nothing to worry about it .Governor Zhang and his wife wanted Mu Yunyao to stay for dinner . When Mu Yunyao said that she wanted to go back and accompany her mother, they did not force her to stay . After all, today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, so it was normal for her to want to spend time with her family .
Governor Zhang specially sent a few guards to escort Mu Yunyao and the two golden signboards back to Jin Xiu Garden .
Steward Qin led Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others to wait at the entrance . When they saw Mu Yunyao asking for two golden signboards to come down, they all kneeled to kowtow and express their gratitude .
The surrounding people who came to watch the fun has completely blocked the streets . At this moment, when they saw two pieces of Emperor’s calligraphy, they were so excited that their faces were flushed red . Many of those who frequently went to Bu Xian Luo to drink tea had an expression of pride on their faces; they were confident that they would never go to other teahouses ever again!
Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo were places where the Emperor himself had personally given the signboards . How could other shops and teahouse compare to them?
In Jingling City, Mu Yunyao was the first commoner to receive a reward from the Emperor . This glory made the entire Jingling City fall into a state of passion . The commoners spontaneously spread the news, as if they were the ones rewarded .
From this moment onwards, Ni Yun Fang and Bu Xian Luo would become the symbol of the entire Jingling City, and no one would be able to shake their position .
When two pieces of Emperor’s calligraphy arrived, Steward Qin took the bag and thanked the guards who were escorting it . Then, he hurriedly began to pay tribute to two pieces of Emperor’s calligraphy .
Not long after, people from all sorts of families came to present their gifts, all with the reason to celebrate the opening of Bu Xian Luo . Mu Yunyao instructed people to record all their presents carefully . If there were any problems in the future, they would definitely be useful .
They busied themselves, and the crowd didn’t disperse until the sky turned dark . Mu Yunyao brought the two pieces of calligraphy to the house directly, making it convenient for Su Qing to admire them in detail .
Seeing Mu Yunyao’s slightly casual attitude, Su Qing exclaimed and wanted to slap her two times, but she couldn’t bring herself to do it . She could only glare at her . “This is the Emperor’s reward, two pieces of the Emperor’s calligraphy . You can’t be careless . I’ll go to the Jin Xiu Garden myself, why bring it back?”
“What’s the big deal? Anyway, it was given to me by the Emperor . I’ll show it to you . He wouldn’t be so petty . ”
Su Qing couldn’t help but glare at her again . Only then did she look at the two words in front of her as if they were precious treasures, “What the Emperor wrote is really different . Look at these words . They emit a majestic aura no matter how you look at them, which is probably the dragon spirit!”
Mu Yunyao couldn’t resist chuckling and said, “Mother, the words written by the Emperor carry a bit of dragon spirit . Then, do you think the Emperor’s people still have dragon scales on them?”
“You naughty girl, you’re not allowed to speak nonsense!” Su Qing couldn’t help but clasp her hands together and bowed, “The child, don’t know anything . Please don’t blame her, Your Majesty! Quickly come over and kowtow to admit your mistake!”
Seeing Su Qing’s serious expression, Mu Yunyao could only walk forward and kowtow to the Emperor’s calligraphy . She muttered to herself, “Your majesty, if you are truly as wise and mighty as Mother thinks, then you should punish Jin Wang and the Su family . That would be the true villain! You have even accepted my tea . If you have any problems in the future, you must help me out a bit . ”
Su Qing listened to her mutter and was afraid that she would say something outrageous . “Yao’er, you’re not allowed to speak nonsense . Do you understand?”
“Yes, yes, Mother, don’t worry, I’m not spouting nonsense . I’m begging the Emperor for protection!” Today, Eunuch Xu sent word to me that the tea I sent had received by the Emperor . If we return to the Su family in the future, I hope that the Emperor can help us out a bit more on account of me giving them gifts and bribes . ”
Su Qing pointed at her nose, not knowing whether to laugh or cry . “The Emperor is dominating the world . What do you want? How can he fall for your teas?”
“Mother, if you say this, then you’re unorthodox . Although the Emperor sits on the throne of the world, there aren’t many people who treat him with sincerity . That position looks impressive and majestic, but in reality, it’s full of sinister schemes . Even the sons are always staring at the throne, and their days are not as good as us . Are we better?”
“Nonsense . ” Su Qing hurriedly pushed her up . “Don’t talk nonsense here . Go and see Shopkeeper Qin . They are all already here . ”
“Yes, Mother . ” Mu Yunyao glanced at the two words again before slightly bending her eyes . Not to mention that these two words indeed are written very well, they seemed rigorous and majestic . Just by looking at the pattern, she couldn’t help but recall an old geezer in charge of life and death . His face was gentle, but every raise of his hand could influence the flow of the world .
In her previous life, she had roamed around the Su family and Jin Wang’s residence . Her status was naturally inferior, and she had no destiny to be the monarch . However, after hearing the Emperor’s deeds, she felt that he should be a wise Emperor . Now that she sees this handwriting, she only hopes that the word is just like someone, really as she imagined . It’s good to be so brilliant and wise!
Steward Qin had already brought Wei Yi, Yun Chun, and the others to the Su residence . They were looking at the layout of the place with interest, and the more they looked, the more uncertain they became . The design here is very delicate, with a pot of flowers and a pot of grass . Extraordinary attention and then think of the final appearance of Jin Xiu Garden, could not help but sigh one sound: The temperament between Miss Mu and Wang Ye was very different!
Wang Ye’s residence is also large, but most of them have built into a performance martial arts stadium . Even though it was just a room, it was clear and cold the moment they stepped into it . He didn’t feel much before, but now Wang Ye’s residence didn’t look like a human’s residence when compared to Miss Mu’s residence .
“Steward Qin, please come to the hall and take a seat . ”
Steward Qin quickly regained his senses and said with a face full of smiles, “If there is anything else you need us to do, please do not hesitate to tell me . ”
“It’s almost ready . ” As Mu Yunyao was speaking, Jin Lan walked over .
“Miss, should we put them in the hall or the courtyard?”
“The weather is not bad . Let’s leave it in the yard . It’s just the right time to admire the moon . What do you think, Steward Qin?”
“We’ll listen to Miss Mu . ”
“Then I’ll go change my clothes first . We still need to pay respects to the moon together later on!”
When Mu Yunyao returned to her room, she could still hear the sounds of laughter coming from the courtyard, so she couldn’t help but smile as well . Time flew by so quickly . That half a year had already passed unknowingly, and everything had gradually gotten back on track . In another year, she would be able to return to the Su family and find those people to settle the scores, hoping that when they met, Su Qingwu wouldn’t be too surprised!
